I am sure attendees would recall that it was a formal meeting - with an agenda, matters for discussion, general business and other matters as deemed appropriate at the time. Abbreviations for status levels being just one of the matters discussed.
Other QP attendees respected our presence and meeting formalities by giving us as much space as we needed - and then giving us more space as our deliberations continued until the last flight home.

The inaugural attendees who are still active posters on FT / AFF. As far as I'm aware, this was the first AFF / FT (Australian version) Do / meetup / meeting ever^
We need a 10 year reunion anniversary meet next year!

Also don't forget the space between Bundy and Bear.
And to scare a few of us I still have the print out from the whiteboard.

Thanks Bundy Bear for pointing out this thread to me, I don't come to FT as often as I aught (or once did).
Most of the posters here have done a fine job in plumbing the background of the meeting. I was previously spammed by somebody that obviously didn't like my posting in a "Only Randy Peterson" thread, so much so that I was getting ~500 spam emails a day.
Thus QF WP was born and I think it safe to say IIRC, that it was thadocta that coined the phrase in a good natured way to me. Thus we quickly came up with names for the other levels.
Ah, those were the days. Catching up with one of the other inaugural members today, so I shall point out this thread to him as well.

Getting JohnSydney2000 in Australia for any length of time may be a challenge ...
